Norwalk man gets 6 months for $300K tax dodge

A Norwalk man received a six-month prison term, after pleading guilty to evading $300,000 in taxes owed on $1.1 million of income between 2009 and 2014.

Ryan S. Rozycki, 41, operated a sports gaming information website called bankthebook.com, according to the office of John Durham, U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut. Prosecutors said Rozycki did not provide his accountant with information regarding business receipts that had been deposited in his personal accounts.

Rozycki paid nearly $340,000 in restitution to the IRS after pleading guilty last September to one count of tax evasion, and is being fined $50,000. He is free on $100,000 bond in advance of his scheduled April 30 date to begin serving his jail sentence.
